16.2 Highlights of What’s New in Version 2025.3

Here is a summary of what’s changed since release 2025.2 Historical change logs are collected in Section 16.

16.2.1 Bug Fixes for Elements

• The HCALIBRATION and VCALIBRATION parameters on the QUAD element were non-functional, as reported by V. Sajaev (APS).
• In sliced mode, the IBSCATTER element no longer hangs in Pelegant when a slice has fewer than 10 particles.

16.2.2 Bug Fixes for Commands

• None.

16.2.3 New and Modified Elements

• The MODRF element (rf cavity with amplitude and phase modulation) now supports user control of the modulation start and end times, as well as modulation offsets and an output file recording the voltage and phase with modulation.

16.2.4 New and Modified Commands

• The moments_output command now supports computation of intrabeam scattering effect using the diffusion matrix [69].
• The alter_elements command now supports a parameter called disable that can be used to disable a particular instance.
• The insert_elements command now supports parameters occurrence_start and occurrence_end, which provides a more convenient way to limit the insertion region.
• The load_parameters command now supports a prefactor, which is applied to the parameter values before assertion.

16.2.5 Changes to Examples

• None.

16.2.6 Changes to Related Programs and Files

The elegant distribution includes many programs and scripts that perform computations with elegant output data, provide interfaces with other programs, or prepare data for use with elegant. These are listed in Section 11.

Changes to these tools in this release include

• None.
